differences

I guess this is the day of posts for me. What'd this make, five posts, or only four?

I'm encountering potential differences which I wouldn't have thought would make a difference. I'm still not sure they'll make a difference. Since my new roommate and I will be sharing a room, I've noticed that he needs much less sleep than I do. I've had a few friendly jibes, which are hard for me to take in general, about how much sleep I need, but my body really needs it. If I stay up as late as he does, then I need to sleep longer. I don't think it'll be a huge problem, if it will be at all, but it might be.

I wish I needed less sleep, but my body just can't take it. I can go a few does with sleep deprivation, but more than that will make me cease to function.

Oh yeah, if I want to get up early, I need to go to bed earlier than anyone else, and that's a problem, too. It's hard for me not to be social, and so when other people are staying up late, I want to stay up late. It's hard to make myself go to sleep. I'm also a relatively light sleeper. So, in spite of how much my friends joke about nothing waking me up, I do actually get up, it's just that I pretend not to so that I might get a bit more sleep. Of course, that leads to being in bed longer, since I keep getting interrupted... It's all accumulative.
